Bahraini regime forces attack religious ceremony

Bahraini forces have attacked a religious mourning ceremony south of the capital Manama that had turned into protests against the ruling Al-e-Khalifa regime

According to media reports, attacks on Saturday were reported in the village of Nuwaidrat, where people were attending a ceremony to mark Ashura, the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (Peace be upon), the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (Blessings of God upon him and his progeny) and third Shia Imam.

The people reportedly gathered in front of the house of Abdul Wahhab al-Hussain, the jailed leader of Bahrain’s al-Wafa society, who organized the first anti-government protest in Nuwaidrat in 2011, and called for the Manama regime to release political prisoners and stop the crackdown on dissent.

The ceremony turned into a protest with people chanting slogans against the Al-e-Khalifa regime, Mira't al-Bahrain, a website close to the opposition in Bahrain, said. Regime forces then attacked the people and fired tear gas to disperse them, according to the report.

There was no immediate report on any potential arrests and injuries during the clashes.
